Millennials Are Racking Up More Chronic Health Conditions Compared to Other Generations: Study

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Millennials are seeking more professional help for health issues than ever, a new study revealed.

Conducted by United Healthcare and Health Action Council, the study explored factors and claims data from policyholders ages 27 to 42 — a total of 126,000 individuals.

It compared current data from April 2021 through March 2022 to historical data dating back to 2012. The findings were presented in the groups’ sixth annual white paper.

Millennials with common chronic medical conditions and their children are “high utilizers” of the health care system compared to Generation X, the research found.

This includes 106% more hospital admissions for millennials with diabetes and 55% more emergency room (ER) and urgent care (UC) visits for hypertension. (Read more from “Millennials Are Racking Up More Chronic Health Conditions Compared to Other Generations: Study” HERE)

WATCH: Jane Fonda Encourages “Murder” to Fight Pro-Life Laws

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hollywood icon and far-left activist Jane Fonda suggested abortion-seeking women shouldn’t abide by laws and could even resort to “murder” in order to have control of their bodies on Friday during a wild appearance on “The View.”

“We have experienced many decades now of having agency over our body, of being able to determine when and how many children to have. We know what that feels like, we know what that’s done for our lives,” Fonda said. “We’re not going back, I don’t care what the laws are. We’re not going back.”

Co-host Sonny Hostin smiled as she said, “That’s the activist,” and co-host Joy Behar was heard responding, “That’s Jane.” . . .

Behar then asked the 85-year-old Fonda what can be done aside from “marching” and protesting the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.

“Well, I’ve thought of murder,” Fonda said during cross-talk before her “Grace and Frankie” co-star Lily Tomlin asked her to repeat herself. (Read more from “Jane Fonda Encourages “Murder” to Fight Pro-Life Laws” HERE)

3.2 Million U.S. Children Attend Public Schools That Conceal Students’ Gender Identities From Parents

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to an investigation conducted by the conservative group Parents Defending Education, more than 3.2 million American children attend public schools that have policies in place to conceal students’ gender identities from parents.

Last summer, the Biden administration proposed new Title IX rules that would allow all U.S. public school employees to withhold children’s gender status from parents. Those regulations could become federal policy if approved in May.

PDE compiled a list of public school districts across the United States with policies that currently “openly state” district officials can or should hide a student’s gender status from his or her parents.

The controversial district policies have already sparked legal battles across the nation.

The nonprofit notes that the list is not comprehensive but, so far, includes 5,904 schools from 168 districts nationwide. The list contains two of the largest school districts in the country, Chicago Public Schools and Los Angeles Unified School District.

Florida Introduces ‘Heartbeat Bill’ to Ban Abortions at 6 Weeks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republicans in the Florida House and Senate filed a bill that would virtually ban all abortions across the state.

Filed by Fort Pierce Republican Sen. Erin Grall, SB 300 would ban doctors from knowingly performing or inducing a termination of pregnancy after the sixth week of gestation.

The “Heartbeat bill” would prohibit a woman from receiving an abortion right around the time the baby’s heartbeat can first be detected, with the exception of saving the life of the mother, fatal fetal abnormality in a pregnancy that has not progressed to the third trimester, and in the case of rape or incest before 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Florida already has a 15-week abortion ban that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) signed last year. However, he signaled that he would support a six-week limit on the procedure. (Read more from “Florida Introduces ‘Heartbeat Bill’ to Ban Abortions at 6 Weeks” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

USA Powerlifting was ordered to allow transgender women to compete with biological females in the women’s division after losing a discrimination case.

The decision drew ire from many across social media, including ESPN anchor Sage Steele, who noticed the news made waves at the start of Women’s History Month.

“Yes. Unfair to women,” she said in response to a tweet from Twitter CEO Elon Musk. “And the irony of this decision being made during Women’s History Month……

Mom Says Teachers’ Union Treated Her Like ‘Enemy of the State’ After Asking About Curriculum

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rhode Island mom Nicole Solas slammed an area teachers’ union she claimed harassed her and made her the topic of a “secret meeting” after she made a records request regarding the district’s curriculum.

“They painted me like a wanted enemy of the state simply because I submitted public records requests,” Solas told Fox News’ Rachel Campos Duffy Sunday on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

“There were 250 teachers that attended where they were alerted to me being an attack on public education,” she later added.

Solas, who was sued by her daughter’s school district last year, said presentation slides condemning her at the secret meeting were leaked to her by a teacher.

She also alleged that the person who created the slides containing pictures of her was a middle school math teacher. (Read more from “Mom Says Teachers’ Union Treated Her Like ‘Enemy of the State’ After Asking About Curriculum” HERE)

House Republicans Rip OBGYN Group’s ‘Outrageous’ Decision to Cancel Pro-Life Doctors

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans decried the nation’s leading obstetrician-gynecologist association for canceling a presentation by pro-life doctors at a recent conference, calling the move “hypocritical and outrageous.”

The five lawmakers led by Rep. Chris Smith, New Jersey Republican, called on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to “end its discrimination against pro-life doctors” after their planned conference exhibit was pulled at the last minute.

“The reported decision by ACOG — an organization purporting to represent all obstetrician–gynecologists — to exclude qualified health care professionals of maternal and child care from presenting at an annual conference because of their pro-life positions is hypocritical and outrageous,” said the Republicans in a Friday statement.

The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists said it has booked a booth for the last 15 years at the 2023 CREOG & APGO annual meeting, but that its doctors were told last week after arriving in Maryland for the event that their exhibit was canceled.

The conference for medical educators is run by the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics and the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology, which falls under the ACOG umbrella.

Cat-Ears-Clad School Board Member Says District Should Not Hire Teachers From Christian University

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Arizona school board member wearing cat ears during a meeting said she would oppose having a contract with a Christian university over the religious and Biblical beliefs they espouse, Fox News Digital found.

The Washington Elementary School District, which serves students in the Phoenix and Glendale areas, had an ongoing contract with Arizona Christian University for five years, enabling their student teachers to be placed in its schools for field experience. The contract opened up opportunities for recruitment and hiring.

On Feb. 23, the board agreed on a motion to dissolve the partnership with the Christian university. They did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether they have a bias against Christian beliefs.

During the meeting, school board member Tamillia Valenzuela blasted the university over its Christian beliefs and said she was “disheartened” to learn about the contract that had been ongoing for five years.

Valenzuela describes herself as “a bilingual, disabled, neurodivergent Queer Black Latina… who loves a good hot wing (but only with the right ranch) and things that sparkle.” (Read more from “Cat-Ears-Clad School Board Member Says District Should Not Hire Teachers From Christian University” HERE)

Columbia Becomes First Ivy League School to Permanently Drop Standardized Exam Requirement

/0 Comments/in , /by

Columbia University became the first Ivy League school to permanently drop its standardized testing requirements for undergraduates.

The postsecondary institution announced Wednesday that the policy changes for Columbia College and the School of Engineering and Applied Science are “rooted in the belief that students are dynamic, multi-faceted individuals who cannot be defined by any single factor.” Students are still optionally permitted to submit their standardized test scores.

“Our review is purposeful and nuanced, respecting varied backgrounds, voices and experiences, in order to best determine an applicant’s suitability for admission and ability to thrive in our curriculum and our community, and to advance access to our educational opportunities,” the university’s admissions department said in a statement. “We have designed our application to afford the greatest possible opportunity and flexibility for students to represent themselves fully and showcase their academic talents, interests and goals.”

Ivy League universities first implemented test-optional admissions policies for certain incoming classes in the wake of government lockdown mandates, which presented difficulties for some students attempting to take college entrance exams such as the SAT and ACT.

‘White as Snow’ Activist Who Allegedly Faked Racial Identity Resigns After Own Mom Outs Her

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Muslim progressive activist who has allegedly been lying for years about her ethnic identify, claiming to be a woman of color, has resigned from her position as senior inclusion officer of a Philadelphia-based social justice group.

“Raquel Saraswati, who is facing public allegations that she misrepresented her background and past associations, has informed us of her intention to separate from the organization,” American Friends Service Committee rep Layne Mullett told USA Today.

Saraswati, 39, who was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, was the chief equity, inclusion and culture officer of the Philadelphia-based, progressive Quaker group that fights “violence, inequality and oppression.”

She was recently outed by the Intercept for pretending to be of Latin, South Asian and Arab descent — and her mother, Carol Perone, told the outlet that the woman is actually of British, German and Italian lineage.

Last week, AFSC human resources official Oskar Pierre Castro, who helped hire Saraswati for her diversity leadership role, said he felt “conned” and “deceived” by the revelations. (Read more from “‘White as Snow’ Activist Who Allegedly Faked Racial Identity Resigns After Own Mom Outs Her” HERE)
